Submission Summary:

The development provides a strong example of successful heritage-based regeneration that can be used as a case study for future schemes and highlight the benefits of bringing new uses to listed buildings. A high-quality restoration and design has been sensitively undertaken under supervision of heritage consultant and in negotiation with the Conservation officer. The scheme provides an exemplar for other development of heritage buildings in challenging urban environments, focusing on what is important and why and allowing for modern intervention where appropriate.
